Venus-Moon Converage in Earth Sky

Around the world on Sept. 11th, sky watchers marveled as Venus and the Moon converged for a beautiful close encounter. In South Africa, it was a full-fledged occultation. "The Moon passed directly in front of Venus, completely covering the planet," reports Kerneels Mulder to SpaceWeather. "I was lucky enough to capture a series of images as Venus re-appeared from behind the Moon in broad daylight." More photos at SpaceWeather.
